This quirky cottage is full of charm and has room to fit up to four people across its two bedrooms. It’s ideal therefore for a small family looking to get away from it all with their dog, or even two couples needing a dog-friendly location for a holiday. Its pretty frontage reflects the elegant interiors, while its location means all of the amenities of Alnmouth are within easy reach.

Inside, you’ll find the cottage is welcoming and comfortable throughout. The open-plan living area – comprising the lounge and diner – may be compact, but its exposed stone walls, traditional fireplace and seating area means it’s a fantastic place to unwind. Dogs will love curling up to sleep by the fireplace while you chill out and watch TV or simply read a good book. The galley style kitchen has a breakfast bar for informal dining as well as coming with everything you’d need to cater easily while on holiday. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms with double beds and there’s a stylish family bathroom for guests to share. Outside, you’ll find a small decked area where you can enjoy some fresh air. Let the dog out, or have a coffee on the garden furniture.

When you’re ready to explore, you’ll find you’re just half a mile from Alnmouth’s sandy beach. You could take your dog on a walk along the Northumberland Coast Path, which takes you past stunning bays and scenery. The vibrant fishing village of Amble is 7 miles from the property and has many seafood cafes overlooking the beach.

This cottage was sited in a lovely village and we did enjoy our stay. It would be interesting to know the origin of the building but we were comfortable and warm

This is a lovely cottage in probably the most dog-friendly place I've ever stayed. the location is great, the cottage is lovely, there are good pubs and restaurants in very close walking distance and having the sea so close by was an added bonus.

Had a pleasant week in this cottage, bedrooms were a bit small with limited access down side of beds, OK if you are reasonably agile , only minor niggle made up for location with easy walking access to beach and high street, parking for one car but access can be restricted when busy.

Lovely clean and well equipped property. It was conveniently located in the centre of Alnmouth. However the access could be difficult to manoeuvre a car in and out as it was very tight. The actual parking space was fine though. The outside area is very small and doesn't get any sun. Alnmouth is a lovely village by the sea and we had a great weRead moreek exploring the area. Hide

The cottage was wonderfully located in the village and the parking space provision was very welcome. It is a charming place to stay and has everything you need within in to really enjoy your stay. Kitchen facilities were great and the shower had good pressure. It's a small cottage but everything has been fitted to maximise the space you have. Our oRead morenly gripe were the beds, which I think has been raised previously. The bed in the main bedroom is incredibly soft and does not really allow for two adults as you end up sunk in the middle. The other bed is a sofa bed which is specified but again could do with an upgrade. In general a wonderful stay in a lovely village. Thanks. Hide

Lovely cottage but slightly disappointed with sitting area in communal access path but a minor issue. Access with car quite difficult so we used buses rather than trying to reverse round a very narrow dog leg access lane. Cottage was very clean and comfortable.

Cottage was clean, cosy and well equipped, if a bit tight for space in the bedrooms. Its well situated in the beautiful village of Alnmouth. The one downside is the vehicular access and parking - definitely not suitable for a large car.

We gave a score of 4 for comfort was the second bedroom would have been better with bunk beds. The shower was to big for the space. Apart from this every thing was perfect ?? Maggie
